Helix Dice Tower

The Helix Dice Tower. This design is focused on a selfintersecting helix path to compress the dimensions of the tower. This tower also functions as storage and its easy to print.

As of the very compact nature of this tower, it is very low in weight and needs some extra weight to be stable when using it. 

If you want to fill the tower, print without infill, 3 perimeters, 6 top layers and 0 bottom layers, so you can fill it up with sand, silicone, resin or similar. 

The 3mf files are setup without infill and bottom, just a bit infill at the center to support the rolling bumpers.

In general, the tolerances between the moving parts is bigger, to ensure it will work on most printers. To get the perfect fit, add some tape to the tower until it has the right friction to hold the lid. You'll find a better explanation in the video.

There is also a collection of Trays that have a connector key that fits at the towers bottom. With that, you don't need to fill the tower to get the weight to stabilize it. Just print it with regular settings.
